Diane World Timer Vintage Diving Watch – Turquoise blue dial – Circa 1970

Magnificent mechanical diving watch for men from the French brand Diane, dating from the 1970s. This sporty-looking model fits the emblematic aesthetic of the Skin Diver diving watches of that era.

It stands out with its turquoise blue dial, orange sporty hands and red seconds hand, contrasting with two black-and-white checkered zones. Its double bezel gives it an original look that is particularly sought after by vintage watch enthusiasts.

The outer black bezel features a World Timer scale, accompanied by a tachymetric graduation, while an inner diving bezel with a graduated scale completes the set. The cushion-shaped case is equipped with two crowns. At the back, the stainless steel screw-down case back bears an engraving depicting a submarine diver in action.

With its 1970s-style design, this Diane possesses a strong visual identity, in the spirit of certain diving models from brands such as Sicura or Mortima. An interesting piece for collectors of vintage mechanical watches and fans of sporty timepieces with a bold retro style.
